Took a quick stroll between rain showers at Mill Lake this afternoon and was quite surprised to spot this guy. I am guessing it is a yellow-eyed. Didn't know they were around here.

That is indeed a Yellow-eyed Junco. Great find! They are supposed to be found in parts of Mexico, southern Arizona and southwest New Mexico. That might even be the first one found here based on this document updated in February 2011: http://www.pdfsearchbox.com/Microsoft-Word--BirdsRareVancouver-X.html

Great photo as well!
